Yes, good point. I used that term incorrectly. And I didn’t intend to disparage any major. If you have the cash, by all means, study what you want and enjoy learning. I have an art degree myself. I just didn’t need the degree to get a job. I could have built a portfolio on my own if I had the motivation.
Purely from the academic side…
Go to class. Don’t take online/remote classes if possible. Don’t skip. If you need extra incentive, calculate how much you are spending per class. Getting your ass out of your dorm/apartment will help motivate you and do more stuff. This will be an unpopular opinion, but I suggest taking the earliest classes you can and stacking them up. It will give you more time to get your work done later.
Sit in the FRONT row. It will help you pay attention. Take notes. Not on a laptop. By hand. Writing will help you remember.
Work hard/play hard. Weekends are yours, but weekdays are for getting shit done. This will help you build good habits for after you are done with school. College is super expensive. Don’t fuck it up.
Don’t take a major that doesn’t have some type of acreditation. Again, this will be unpopular, but ask yourself if you could learn stuff on your own/through experience/as a student-at-large. Accounting: yes. Medicine: yes. MBA: yes. Law: yes. You can’t do those things without college. Art: no. Philosophy: no. Just go DO those things. Take a class if you want to strengthen your skills, but you need to be incredibly driven to succeed.
JD looks so confused. “Wait. Did somebody die?”
Well, you got me there.
It’s difficult to think of a more punchable face than Sam Altman’s.
I don’t agree with your position, but people downvoting you for it based on the question is nonsense.
Hey, remember school during COVID? When most kids wouldn’t even bother turning their cameras on for remote learning? That worked out real well. What these dickheads are trying to push ignores the social aspect of learning. Sure, some people can learn in isolation, but many/most of us benefit from being around others. Processing information involves synthesizing your own thoughts, but also analyzing the thoughts and behaviors of others around you. And this doesn’t even consider the motivation that a good teacher can provide and how it can build self esteem and self efficacy. The content, while not insignificant, is a vehicle to help people learn how to think, and not just acquisition of facts.
This same bill would merge the US and Israeli militaries. Total bullshit. This country is fucking crumbling around us as we wait for free snacks at Costco.
Great thoughts. One of the points I particularly agree with is that dems point out what won’t work. They are the “against” party. Part of that is bc the minority has to act in opposition. For as awful as the GOP is, they are “for” things. The demsocs at least stand for something.
someone must have dirt on him
Pay who?
If Sandy Hook families have not received anything from Alex fatfuck Jones yet, this woman will never see a dime.
Isn’t it a class action lawsuit?
Another example of capitalism fucking everyone over. You know who got paid for certain? Lawyers.
It’s ironic that your reply is downvoted when the original comment claims lemmy doesn’t shut out opposing viewpoints. I like lemmy way better that reddit, but there is definitely things I wouldn’t post on here based on the way some others have seen get crusified.
Man, I’m embarrassed I needed this explained to me, but anchor is such a good description. Imagine what people could/would do if they didn’t have to be bound to their employer by health insurance.
Noted. I’m not arguing either side, but it’s possible that there is a bias against older people based on anecdotal experience. To you point though, there probably are many things that factor into the policy. If older people are driving less, they still are a lower risk to crash as a demographic.
Stop amplifying his nonsense.
